University of Florida defensive back Jaylen Watkins, who leads the Gators with 22 tackles, confessed earlier this week that he got a little bored standing on the sideline in last week's 24-7 win against Kentucky.

"First quarter, I think I felt like I was only out there for about six plays," Watkins said. "Obviously, you want to play more, but if the offense can take care of the ball and play keep-away all day, that's great. But it's kind of bittersweet sometimes you're just kind of sitting on the bench, just sitting around watching and waiting all the time. But that's the type of football we play."
